| | What German Medicine Net Has Achieved So Far |
| | |
| |  | We represent more than a hundred German hospitals and specialised treatment centres that offer virtually any kind of treatment for all kinds of medical complaints |
| |  | We took several groups of British NHS patients to the German orthopaedic hospitals for hip and knee replacement and minor operations. German Medicine Net was one of 3 continental providers that took part in the NHS pilot projects 2001/2002 - chosen out of about a hundred organisations and institutions that applied for these projects at the English Department of Health. |
| |  | We pioneered in bringing German doctors to the UK: German Medicine Net dermatologists helped more than 600 British patients, our orthopaedic surgeons saw numerous outpatients, our ENT specialists travelled to the South of England to give advice to people with tinnitus problems. Currently we are preparing to treat more than a 1000 English cataract patients and more than 2500 English dermatology patients |
| |  | Projects are underway to bring badly needed radiologists and histopathologists to the North of England |
| |  | Official partner of the English government to bring doctors and surgical teams into the UK and organise UK patients transfers to Germany. |
| |  | Together with various private sector UK partner agencies we organise treatment for selfpaying or privately insured UK patients in Germany |
| |  | We have brought numerous private patients from various regions of the world to Germany |
| |  | A future focus of German Medicine Net will be co-operation with major Dutch, Scandinavian and Arab partners to help patients from those parts of the world |
| |  | Negotiations are underway with various international professional football clubs to take their injured players to Germany for a particularly gentle type of (extraperitoneal) hernia surgery that usually enables them to be back on the pitch much sooner than with traditional surgical techniques. |
| |  | Our prices compare very favourably with private sector prices in most Western European countries, prices for operations in germany are often 3 times lower than in the USA |
| |  | German Medicine Net has been featured in many national and international news media, to name but a few: BBC Radio 4, BBC TV, Birmingham Evening Mail, Daily Telegraph, Guardian, Hamburger Abendblatt, Health Service Journal, Hospital Healthcare, Irish Independent, Medical Tribune, Reuters Health, Scottish Sunday Times, Sunday Times, Times, WDR (West German Radio), Welt, Welt am Sonntag etc.

| |  | Why do we do what we do? Our philosophy is simple: In our view there can be nothing more rewarding than helping other people. |
